Thank you Elmhurst!

United Community Concerns Association would like to thank the Elmhurst community for their donations of food and money, and the endless hours of time volunteered over the holiday season. This generosity helped make the holidays brighter for the 302 families with children in Elmhurst District 205 Schools assisted this year.

We would like to give a special thanks to the City of Elmhurst, City Manager Mr. James Grabowski, and all employees, especially from Public Works; Dr. David Moyer, Superintendent of Elmhurst District 205, all District 205 students, families, social workers, and staff; Elmhurst Police Department; Elmhurst Jaycees; Elmhurst Park District and its employees; Dan Gibbon’s Turkey Trot; Elmhurst Public Library; Elmhurst YMCA; Elmhurst Rotary Club; and the many local Churches, organizations, businesses and approximately 400 volunteers who sorted, packed, loaded cars, and delivered over 1,300 boxes of food.

Throughout last year, over $82,000 was provided in food and food certificates to families and seniors. We are a 100% volunteer organization with over 99% of all donations used to help feed our neighbors in need. This would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers, our generous partners, and our caring community. Since the needs are stronger than ever, your financial support is appreciated year round as we continue to work together to fight hunger in our Elmhurst community. Checks may be made payable to UCCA, 125 W. Church Street, Elmhurst, IL 60126.
